Succession planning is a critical yet often underutilised strategy that helps organisations prepare for change and build a resilient, future-ready workforce.

Whether it's an unexpected departure or a long-anticipated leadership transition, having a clear succession plan in place ensures business continuity, minimises disruption and supports the growth and retention of internal talent. This topic provides a practical and comprehensive suite of resources to help employers:

  • identify key roles and potential successors,
  • plan for both emergency and long-term transitions,
  • develop and retain high-potential employees and
  • align succession strategies with broader business goals.

This topic includes articles to further explore the core elements and templates and tools that can be adapted to suit the needs of your organisation. These resources can be found below.
